(After Adam Cole vs Pat McAfee)
Ding, ding, ding.
Alicia: The following contest is an open challenge gauntlet for the WWE 24/7 championship, currently in the ring... she is the WWE 24/7 champion... JASPER!
Jasper laid back in the bottom left corner, her 24/7 title hanging off her right shoulder.
Mauro: Guys we've already seen a highly contested match, and now we're about to see another clinic with the 24/7 championship.
Tom: 24/7 title rules, must be defended at all times. Most would be on the run under those kinds of guidelines, Jasper on the other hand has actually welcomed the challenge.
Beth: Jasper willing to lay a beating on anyone that tries to take her championship away from her.
Mauro: Jasper has requested this to be a six person gauntlet match, after you eliminate a competitor a new one will enter. Last man standing takes home the title.
(cue Imperium Theme)
Alicia: Next, accompanied to the ring by Fabien Aichner, he is one half of the NXT Tag Team champions... representing Imperium... MARCEL BARTHEL!
Marcel and Fabien of Imperium made their way to the ring, WALTER still in the UK due to Travel Restrictions.
As soon as Marcel got into the ring the first match up in the gauntlet began.
Ding, ding, ding.

But then Jasper reversed the cover into a sleeper-hold.
Her arms around the head and neck as Barthel tried to fight, but he ultimately tapped pretty quickly.
Ding.
Alicia: Marcel Barthel has been eliminated.
As Jasper released the hold she was bombarded with strikes from Fabien Aichner, fists and knees to the body of Jasper. Tom pulled him off the champion, this gave Jasper room to get to her feet.
Round 2: Jasper vs Fabien Aichner
As Jasper got up she was nailed with a running dropkick that sent her into the northwest corner, he then nailed a series of corner clotheslines. He then grabbed a hold of her hair and leaped over the west side of the ropes and flung her right of the ropes, bring her down to her back. Fabien then readied himself on the apron, and sprung off the ropes, rebounding off the north ropes and into a moonsault.
Fabien hooks the leg.

Jasper kicks out.
Fabien didn't let the kick out get to him as he quickly straddled her and started to pummel her with forearm strikes, but nothing a simple shove from the much larger specimen couldn't help. Jasper then quickly kipped up before catching Fabien with a flapjack into the corner, Fabien stumbled out of the corner and into a sleeper hold from Jasper.
Jasper lifted Aichner up and the Italian American flailed in his predicament, he tried to fight out of it but he had no choice but to tap out. Jasper dropped her victim.
Alicia: Fabien Aichner has been eliminated.
Jasper stretched her shoulder, "Huh, somewhat better then the last one."
As Jasper waited for her third opponent, someone snuck around behind the ring and slid under the ropes. Jasper then felt someone attempt to pull her back, and looked down to see and arm. She sneered before pulling the arm up, revealing Ice Dancing bitch Josee who looked scared at the glare she was receiving. "Merci?"
Jasper shook her head as the ref called for the next match up to begin.
Round 3: Jasper vs Josee
Jasper then tossed the ice dancer across the ring, as soon as she got up Josee was clotheslined out of the ring by Jasper. Jasper stepped out of the ring after her, then picked her up by the hair and slammed her into the plexiglass surrounding the outside barricade.
She then tossed the lady ice dancer back into the ring, as the ref looked her over Jasper felt something tug on her leg as she tried to reenter the ring. Jasper looked down and saw another pink sleeved arm sticking out from under the ring, she rolled her eyes before stomping on the arm hard. Causing a loud screech to be heard.
She turned went to get back in the ring, however she was caught with a knee from Josee which hung over the middle rope. She then wrap her arm around Jasper's head and drove her down with a rope hung DDT.
Josee pulled her off and hooked the leg for the cover.

2.
Jasper gets the shoulder up.
Josee growls before she drops her knee over Jasper's face several times. Just then the same pink sleeved arm popped from the apron with a kendo stick, the ref had it confiscated and behind his back the arm placed a wrench. As the ref was preoccupied Josee quickly grabbed the wrench and was ready to bash it over Jasper's head, she swung it down..
…. but then Jasper catches the wrench and easily bends it. Jasper gives Josee the most menacing look she's ever given another living thing, and the lady nearly pees herself "Uh, can we just talk about thi-GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" she was interrupted when Jasper quickly locked her in a sleeper hold, she brought her down and wrapped her tree trunk legs around Josee's petite figure. Josee pulled on the arms and tried to back elbow the gem in the head, however after about 25 seconds of struggling she passed out from the lack of oxygen.
The ref shook her before calling, "She's out!"
Jasper pushed her off.
Alicia: Josee has been eliminated.
As she got up, she was hit in the back with a chair. And she turned to see her attacker, Josee's partner Jacques who is now shaking from seeing the chair was totally useless against Jasper. He chuckled fearfully as the ref called for the next match up.
Round 4: Jasper vs Jacques
Jacques went for another swing of the chair, not caring about getting disqualified. But Jasper counters with a savage headbutt, sending him crashing to the mat and making him lose his grip on the chair. Jasper plants her foot on his chest.
Tom got in position after removing the chair form the ring.

Jasper then picks up Jacques and sends him to the outside, "Pathetic." she turned to the stage, "Come on! Is this really the best you got? I've seen humans pull bigger threats from their own noses! Give me a challenge, or else!"
SHOCK... the system.
The theme for the Undisputed Era played out as out comes...
Rodrick Strong.

Round 5: Jasper vs. Rodrick Strong
